Day off

I'm back at my work today, after a day and a half dayoff. It's horrible weather outside, wet and cold which isnt much of an improvement from yesterday. So, was not a good day to spend a dayoff. But shops are still on sale so went to Zara and made more shopping I bought some tops that I could use when I start to work at the other job. I also bought some for "pasalubong" to some of my cousins and friends. You can get shirts for 3.95 euros with still good quality. I also got myself a sunglass for 9.95 euros though no luck with the shoes coz the smallest size they got is 36 unfortunately Im one size lower. kainis.

Also yesterday, dropped by at the office for about an hour. They are implementing changes on their IT thingy, one of them is that I'd be trained by this frenchguy, Philippe, to whom I was introduced to yesterday, instead of the German guy I mentioned before. Apparently, this German was was in a rush to get relieved and he just couldn't wait for me. After speaking to the Frenchguy, Im happier about the changes. More about this on another entry.

From the office, I went to the check the movies at the cinema. They only movie they are showing in the original version, is the Golden Compass . The rest are dubbed in French. So me and some of housemates,my cousin and her hubby, 8 of us, all went to watch the film. The cinema ticket is 6.50 euros.

We had dinner at the house, Greg made chicken curry, which was truly yummy that I even had it this morning for breakfast. Then they put a DVD fim to watch, the American President while they played tong-it, with money. I know how to play it but never joined them cause I don't like gambling.

This is how they usually they spend their evenings after work, dinner, chat, movie, play cards or they go out. I'm the only one who is in (strict) live-in arrangement, poor me. Not that Im new to this in my 8 years abroad, I have been like in a live-in thing for nearly 7 years. So, Im kind of used to already to miss out on this kind of happenings with the friends.

Well, there's the account of how I spent my day off this week. And as you can see, narration is not really my forte :D
